Miller and Deace

Did they talk much about Saturday's game? I tuned in around 7:30, and they've been talking about Michigan and Dennard Robinson since. WOW. Local radio, after the Iowa State-Iowa game, and we get to listen to a review of Michigan and their quarterback during the 7:30 drive time slot? Come on fellas, have you ever been on I-235 at 7:30 in the morning and seen how many people are in their cars, wanting to listen to your take on the big game?

Rant over.

they did from about 705 to 730.

They talked Iowa/ISU from 7-7:30.

I thought Dennard Robinson's performance was worthy of mention, but they, or should I say Steve, went on too long with it.

What is there to really talk about from Saturday. That was about the most lopsided game I have seen since ISU's 2003 season...

I did not need a recap. So I am glad they did not talk about it.

The biggest question I have from Saturday is to know what ISU's defensive plan was. The blueprint has been there for years, and ISU looked like they tried to play Iowa straight up, few blitzes.

Not sure what was left to talk about. If they dwell on it, we complain that they're rubbing it in. If they don't talk about it, we want them to? What do we really want to hear that we don't know already (except maybe an answer to Jon's question in this thread)?

**azn4cy** · 09-13-2010, 08:33 AM

To be fair, Denard IS a beast.

That is what I was yelling at the TV on Saturday. BLITZ!

Keep up the good work Jon and Steve. I always enjoy your radio show.

I said the same thing about Iowa State's offensive game plan. We threw very few of our quick receiver screens (after throwing 10-15 of them against NIU) and rather kept looking farther down field (where Arnaud has consistantly shown trouble seeing LB's dropping into coverage).

And on running plays we kept trying to go around the edges when last year we had alot of success against Iowa between the tackles.

But when you get man-handled like that it makes even the best game plan look like crap.

I didn't really get that either. Stanzi has been known to throw bad passes with pressure and we gave him all the time in the world to pass. You just as well blitz, because straight up wasn't working.
The talk about the Michigan game, 810 out of KC went on length about that game as well, evidently the QB put on quite a performance.

You had 3 guys playing LB that had started one game. You had one that had parebely played. Blitz is death in the scenario. It looked to me like the gameplan was for Our Dline to eat blcoks and have the LBs and Sims fill gaps to stop the run. Obviously it didn't work but I don't think it would have mattered what the gameplan was.

Who cares what Miller's take is? He has repeatedly proven he knows virtually nothing about football. Remember his hyping of Christensen in Tate's senior year.

Last week Miller's analysis was that the key difference in the game would be Iowa's superb kickoff coverage. Enough said.

It's pretty obvious that we kept it vanilla and didn't want to show anything to our future conference opponents.

I didn't see the game so that's the best I got.
